Points About Prominent People.

Barney Biglin, the big boss of New
York, has been cured of rheumatism at
the Hot Springs.
1t is said that Senator Edmunds often
wishes he could take out his liver and
hold it under a hydrant.
Mr.. Cleveland has not yet developed
gout, but if his wife keeps on getting
pets he may get a pet toe.
"Sunset" Cox has made steady
progress toward recovery and his doc
tors speak of his condition more conf
IDENTIFY.
Unlike the other great Philadelphia
editors, says the New York Star, Col
onel Mcclure seldom comes to New
York, and when he does it is to attend
dinner, a ball or an opera.
Senator-elect Farwell, who succeeds
TO Logan's seat, recently gave a grand
entertainment in his Chicago palace, at
which it was noted that punch bowls
seemed to occupy every corner that was
not appropriated by palms." AS long
as Logan lived Mr.. Farwell never had
much luck in Illinois politics.
Hon. John Randolph Tucker, of Vir-
ginia-" nephew of John Randolph, of
Roanoke distinguishes his departure
from Congress by passing his severe
anti-MOrmOn bill and by introducing a
noteworthy measure providing that a
humble citizen may sue a sovereign
State.
The story is now revived that Frank
Blair once followed Senator Conkling
out of the Senate chamber, after the
latter had make a severe attack on
him, and said to him: "YOu white
livered, white-headed Albino, if you dc
not return at once to the Senate and
make public apology for what you have
said concerning me, l will cut youl
ears off," 1t is characteristic of COnk-
ling that he never contradicts such
stories.

A HAPPY Family OLE PLANTS


Such happy family of plants as
had there this season. Sweet peas
caught hold of the fence and pulled
themselves up, up, up, until they could
look over on the other side, and phlox
and mignOnette snuggled down among
the larkspur as if they were in love
with each other; marigolds and petu-
Mas tried to see which could make the
best show at one side of the corner, and
Chinese pinks and portulaca made q
great effort to Out-do them on the other,
and it wasn't their fault if they did not
succeed. And in the centre bachelor
buttons and pOppies and mourning
brides. as they call the scabiosa in a
great many sections of the country,
grew up in the most perfect harmony
together, and did what they could to-
ward making the world bright and
cheerful, and that was no little. An
old lady living near used to come over
very often to see what she called my old
fashioned garden" "It's like the gar
dens they used to have when l was a
girl" she said. Then they grew
flowers for their own sakes, but nova
days they want them to hep make a
show Lady in Vjck's Magazine.

Chat About Flowers.
A GROUP OF ITEMS OF ESPECIAL INTER
EST TO THE WOMEN FOLKS.

One of the best new geraniums is
apple blossom. 1t is a soft pink, shad-
ing into white, almost exactly like the
flower from which it takes its name.
Most of our pink geraniums have been
of bright rosy shade, but this is of the
pearly, sea-shell tint, which is half way
between pink and white; it is, in fact,
a Pauline Lucca with the hint of
blush on its petals. And speaking of
Pauline Lucca, reminds me that l
wanted to say that this is the best
white geranium 1 have ever grown.
Most so-called white ones are not
white, they are tinged with red or
green and have dirty look; but this
variety is pure white, and it is, more
over, of fine shape aud very free flow
ering, quite as good in most ways as
the more popular scarlet varieties are.
The best scarlet, as far as color and
shape are concerned, is Rienzi. And
the next best is William Cullen Bryant
Both of these varieties are very rich
and brilliant in color, with a velvety
texture in their petals, and glow like
that of gold dust on them when you
look at them in the sunlight. The
petals are so wide that they overlap
each other and give US a round flower
like a pansy. The day of the old, mar
row petaled geranium is about gone.
One of the best variegated leaved
plants l have had for the last two years
is the new geranium, Madame Salleroi.
Its leaves are never cupped or drawn
down about the edges as most Of the
green and white kinds are. Mountain
of Snow and similar kinds donot retain
their foliage long; about as soon as a
leaf completes its growth it begins to
turn yellow and soon drops off, the
variegation being a sign of a lack of
vitality in the strain; but this is not
the case with Madame Salleroi; the
foliage is retained in healthy condi-
ton quite as we'll as that of the green
leaved kinds. 1t is a most useful plant
to work in among others. 1 have
several pots oft, and wherever there
is a need of something to brighten up a
group, and flowers are not at hand to
do it, use these geraniums, and their
pretty green and white leaves are very
effective. They grow in very COM
pact shape, forming a rounded mass Of
foliage over the top of the pot Vick's S

Snow Proverbs.

Snow is generally preceded by a gem
eral animation of man and beast, which
continues until the snowfall ends.
When the first snow remains on the
ground some time in places not exposed
to the sun, expect a hard winter.
When the snow falls dry, it means to lie;
But flakes light and soft bring rain off,
Burning wood in winter pops more
before snow.
When dry leaves rattle on the trees,
expect snow.
When in the ditch the snow doth lie.
'Tis waiting for more by and by.
1t takes three cloudy days to bring a
heavy snow.
If the flakes increase in size thaw
will follow.
If there is no snow before January
there will be the more snow in March
and April.
In March much snow,
To plants and trees much woe German.
The more snow the more healthy the
season.
Heavy SHOWS in winter favor the
crops of the following summer.
A snow year, a rich year.
Snow is the poor mans fertilizer, and
good crops will follow a winter of heavy
snowfall.
If much snow be spread on the
mountains in winter the season of
planting will be made blue with yer.
dure.-Indidn.
A heavy fall of snow indicates a good
year for crops, and light fall the re-
verse.
Much sleet in winter will be followed
by a good fruit year.-Boston Journal
